Some members are more mature then others. I currently have 6 lock n lock type containers ready to go. they got the green geocache labels. I spent hours using Google maps to spot wooded/forestry areas to place them. It was hard work just finding them on Google maps Now I need to physically inspect the areas I spotted from the satellite to double check. some only have 1 or 2 catchs in the areas some have none yet. I did my homework I just now need to wait for it to stop raining so I can inspect the sits I want to hid them at to make sure they will work. I'm picky as to where to hid them. I'm also very picky as to what caches I try to find. if I don't feel comfortable looking for the cache I don't go after it or spend allot of time looking for it ether. if its too close to someones property or has a hi muggle count or high chance of being caught I won't do it.

We have a local cacher who has placed over a hundred caches but hasn't been active for more than a year. Although some of his caches are getting archived through a long period of "DNFs" then "needs maintenance" then "needs archived" and the reviewer waits a month for a response from the CO (which isn't forthcoming) before it's officially archived, many of his caches are still being found. So archiving them isn't really necessary. And I don't know what the rules are, but I don't think a reviewer can archive a cache if it's still being found if the CO hasn't given permission. I think the other issue with this plan is that a reviewer would have to keep track of the logins of all the cachers in his ares (which could be thousands) to see if they are still active. A daunting task to say the least. That's a good idea but unfortunately, a CO has to place a cache up for adoption and/or invite a specific person to adopt the cache before it can happen. We attempted to adopt a cache that had had many DNFs but was in a nice location. We wrote to the CO and asked if we could adopt their cache but they hadn't been active in a long time and they never wrote back to us. Eventually we added a "needs archived" note and after some time the reviewer archived it freeing up the location for a new cache. What should be done is instead of archiving it first the reviewer could post a note saying this cache is up for adoption and after a time if there are no hits then its deleted.

SO if a person doesn't want to do puzzles or letter boxes they can't hid. fine they will just go to other geocacheing websites that don't have a requirement. I'm not a fan of math so I don't want to do puzzles. Also I do not drive I bike everywhere so I can't do multys cause who knows if the 2nd stage is 1 mile away or 30 miles away. That would be a unfair rule. Also so what if they do find a bunch of puzzles multys and 5/5s. Like that's going to stop them from going out and hiding a 100 micros on a power trail etc.

Sorry but a Hint is supposed to help you not make it worse. If we weren't suppose to have hints then why is there space for it?

Or take their caches elsewhere like another website.

just do what I do.Open a Seperate tab on your browser and go to google maps from there and then just copy and paste the coords.

If it's still within 150 it's still trespassing. I have a question about this 150 feet thing. I live in a trailer park and my trailer is 20 feet from the tracks (they parrell my bedroom window) as are allot of the other trailers if you need to be 150 feet from the tracks then how did this trailer park get built.

A cache not far from here a cacher posted a note saying they were approached by the fence owner saying he would bash in anyone's head who came around there.

I have a garmin Nuvi 265T and So far its gotten me to the area with a cache. Im using it in the city and In bike since I don't drive. I found about 14 caches with it. Yes it wants to take me through someones backyard to get to the location so then I have to improvise on how to find another route to the location without trespassing through someones backyard.

No what?. No it's not considered advertising or commercial or no I can't place them in catches.

Both caches I find and my own caches.

I have a couple LED keychain flashlights I would like to include in the cach containers but they say ST.John community health on them.Is that considered advertising or commercial.
